What this means for a homeowner
Six-inch gutters may help homes with large roof planes, steep slopes, long runs, and heavy valley discharge. They work best when paired with correctly sized downspouts and planned discharge points.
Before requesting a quote, document where overflow happens, which sides of the home collect debris, whether downspouts discharge near the foundation, and whether the gutters are loose, undersized, or already leaking.
